Clients we have worked for

Experience

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is the hosting of a desktop operating system within a virtual machine (VM) running on a central server. We have helped many of clients to implement this technology allowing them to save time and cost, improve update speeds and to provide an easy way to customize desktops for certain users or groups of users.

Data Storage

Data storage is a vital part of many business operations. We at Wincura have led many data centric projects which includes data migration and data archiving for many organizations. During some of this data storage project we worked with vendors such as EMC, 3Par and NetApp to mention a few.

Data Backup & Encryption Projects

As data storage is critical to continued business operation, that data needs to be backed up in case of accidental data loss. Companies need to be able to recover from such data loss. We have worked with many clients to lead projects that implemented enterprise data backup and encryption solutions for them.

Network Security Projects

Working with our clients’ Information Security teams, we have managed projects that delivered network security for enterprise networks. Some of the technology involved in some of these projects include Checkpoint and IBM Intrusion Detection Systems.

Networks - LAN & WAN

On behalf of many of our clients we have successfully managed many Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) implementation or upgrade projects. Other projects we have managed in this space include the build DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) networks that allows our clients to reduce threats from the internet into networks when external access is required.

Messaging

Microsoft Exchange is one the most popular e-mail-based collaborative infrastructure for businesses. We have successfully led and managed many projects that deployed this infrastructure for our clients. On some projects, we led the migration or integration of messaging services post mergers and acquisitions.

Data Centre

A lot of the projects we have worked on for clients have been situated in large datacentres and Co-Lo. We have gone on to lead projects that designed and built data centres including mobile data centres. Some other projects we managed in this space includes datacentre migration, consolidation and decommissioning.

Active Directory & IDAM

We have led project that consolidated active directory post mergers and acquisitions.We have also worked on identity management projects that provided our clients with the ability to manage user log on credentials and privileges within or across multiple systems and also increasing security and productivity while decreasing cost, downtime and repetitive tasks.

Middleware

As businesses evolve, various applications they use for their business operations will have been acquired or built over time. As a result, their business operation now relies on disparate legacy and new applications. We at Wincura have led many middleware integration projects that deployed solutions for the sharing of processes and data between disparate enterprise applications.

Multi Factor Authentication

We have successfully managed many MFA projects on behalf of banks and professional services firms. Most of the MFA project we have worked on are driven by security standards regulations. The goal of MFA is to provide a layered defence and make it more difficult for an unauthorized individual to access for instance a DMZ network, computing device or database.

Some of the technologies we have worked on includes Hardoop stack, SAP Hana and IBM Blu DB2.
